it breaks down into 2 groups...

Group 1 thinks Naruto is Naruto, and he uses the Kyubi Chakra like a tool. Since nobody else has this tool it is comparable to bloodline abilities. If he didn't have a demon inside of him, he would be a 2nd rate ninja which means he 'cheats' to win.

Group 2 thinks Naruto is Naruto + Kyubi... there is no difference between the two. They are one in the same. If Naruto wins, he won because he was better.



I'd like to toss in that he probably could have turn out to be a good ninja w/o the Kyubi... if his dad really is the 4th. Weve seen that the kids take after their parents in skill. I'd wager its why Sakura and Ino suck (owning a flower shop... what kinda job is that =P)
